A new approach to robust law
A very aesthetic change has taken place in the anti-repressive law after the pact between ERC, Junts and the PSOE. The general secretary of ERC, Marta Rovira, has stated that this change makes the law more robust and complete. This modification has been made to guarantee a better protection of human rights and to adapt to the European directives in the field of terrorism
Different views on the law
Opinions on this change are diverse. While ERC considers that the law was already sound and inclusive before the changes, Junts maintains that these modifications close the holes that were left open with the first draft. This has generated a debate between the two parties, but they have finally reached an agreement
The importance of amnesty
Amnesty has been one of the key points of the negotiations. Both ERC and Junts have defended its importance as an anti-repressive strategy. Marta Rovira has emphasized that ERC has been putting amnesty on the table for four years and celebrates that they have been able to convince the PSOE. For its part, Junts considers that the law now belongs to everyone and for everyone, and that the holes that were there have been resolved
The changes introduced in the law
The changes introduced to the anti-repression law are significant. References to the Spanish criminal code in the paragraph on terrorism have been removed, and reference is now made to European Directive 2017/541 of the European Parliament and of the Council. This allows for a better definition of terrorism and greater protection of human rights
Diversity of opinions
Opinions about these changes are diverse. While ERC considers that the law was already robust before these changes, Junts maintains that these close the holes that were there. This has generated a debate between the two parties, but they have finally reached an agreement
conclusion
In short, the aesthetic change in the anti-repressive law has been made to ensure a better protection of human rights and to adapt to the European directives in the field of terrorism. Opinions on this change are diverse, but both ERC and Junts celebrate that the loopholes in the law have been resolved
